M1 and M2 are different, where M1 is selected from one or more of P, B, Ti, Mg, V, Cr, W, Zr, Mo, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Ca, K, Ni, Co, Al, Sn, Mn, Ce, Se, Si, Sb, Y, La, Hf, Ta, Zn, In and Cd, and M2 is selected from one or more of P, Mg, V, Cr, W, Zr, Mo, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Ca, K, Ni, Co, Al, Sn, Mn, Ce, Sb, Bi, Sr, Y, La, Hf, Ta, Zn, In and Cd. If x = zero and M2 consists of a single element, then the mixed niobium oxide must be oxygen deficient. In other words, the mixed niobium oxide is adapted, either by cationic substitution due to the presence of both M1 and M2, or by providing a mixed niobium oxide with oxygen depletion. Such materials are of interest as active electrode materials in lithium-ion or sodium-ion batteries.

Title: Water extraction
Inventor: WILLIAM CUTTING
IPC: E02B3/00
Filed: 2022-12-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of river water abstraction from a final weir, or a tidal interface (between fresh water and salt water). A new water abstraction station or facility may be built at the weir or at the tidal interface. If a new facility is provided, then the method can involve decommissioning or removing an upstream river water abstraction facility. This can make available the maximum amount of fresh water from a UK river, which will solve water shortages in the UK. The water can then be screened, filtered and/or cleaned, once abstracted, and so can be pumped to a water treatment works to be made suitable for use in a public water supply. The invention also relates to river that has a water abstraction facility at a final weir, or at a tidal interface, as well as a river abstraction station located at the final weir or the tidal interface.

Patent IN-2014CH00378-A (IN)
Inventor: VADDE NEELIMA
IPC: C07K14/00
Filed: 2015-01-28
Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated scheme for fractionation and purification of plasma products (human albumin, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), clotting factor VIII and clotting factor IX) by sequential chromatography and virus reduction steps. The therapeutically administrable protein IVIG has purity levels exceeding 98%, aggregates and dimers at less than 0.2%, Fc function of > 90% and anti-complementary activity of less than 0.5 CH50 per mg of Ig. The distribution of IgG isomers is comparable to the ranges seen in normal plasma. Human albumin for therapeutic use, purified by this integrated scheme has an electrophoretic purity of close to 100%, with monomers exceeding 98%. The levels of aluminium and pre-kallikrein activator are below the detection limit for the respective tests. The Factor IX preparations have a specific activity of > 200 IU/ mg. The impurity levels of Factor-II, Factor VII, Factor X are at least 10-fold lesser (< 0.5% instead of 5%) and the heparin impurity of < 0.01 IU (against 0.5 IU limit for this impurity) is 50-fold lesser the specified pharmacopoeial limits. The purification carried out by an all-chromatography scheme, avoids the use of ethanol precipitation in the entire manufacturing process of the said four plasma products. The invention describes an integrated process for purifying four different proteins from human plasma to high therapeutic grade purity levels, with a potential to purify more therapeutic proteins from a given plasma sample by incorporating additional chromatography steps in the sequence.
